Controversy surrounding earlier Spartacus guide content
The Spartacus guide had a history of financial and editorial problems before Bruno Gmünder acquired it, including material that critics said could facilitate the sexual abuse of children in developing countries. Bruno Gmünder reduced the explicitly pro-paedophilia content, but criticism continued regarding some aspects of editions published from 1987 to 1994.
